McReynolds, against the Medford Domestlo Laundry, and A. Hamilton, one of lta employes, was underway In circuit court today. Mc Reynolda seelu $7700 damagea for al leged Injuries received while riding as on "'"eged guest passenger." in a laundry wagon of the defendant. The ault Is based upon an auto ac cident on the Crater Lake highway, two miles from the Lodge, in July 1934, when the laundry wagon driven by Hamilton, went over an en bankment, MoReynolda charges In his com plaint that the accident was due to the reckless driving of Hamilton, down a steep grade, which caused the laundry wagon to go over a cliff at a curve. The laundry charges that McRey nolds was a "guest passenger." asked Hamilton to ride from Prospect to Union Creek, and later requested per mlslson to continue to Crater Lake, which was granted. The defendants claim that u . "guest passenger," he wss under no obligations to assist Hamilton In the handling of laundry, which he avers he dld. The defendants cite that Hamilton, aa the laundry driver, was proceeding down the grade at a moderate rate of speed and that at the curva,an ap proaching truck travelling at high speed was met. To avoid a crash, Hamilton turned to the edge of the road, whereupon the edge caved, causing the laundry wagon to drop down a short distance. McReynolds Is represented by At torney A. E.
